Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford (28 years old) is not considering a return to Manchester United or a transfer to another club. The Englishman wants to continue at the Catalan outfit and is prepared to make a significant financial sacrifice to achieve his goal, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The footballer has already negotiated his personal terms with Barcelonaand is now willing to take a further pay cut just to stay at Camp Nou.
The main obstacle remains the transfer amount. The Catalan club is not willing to pay the 30 million euros set in the agreement with Manchester United, while the English refuse to reduce the claims.
Marcus Rashford wants to stay at Barcelona
Marcus Rashford's numbers in a Barcelona shirt are solid. The striker scored 13 goals, provided 11 assists and won two penalties in 2,333 minutes played. Practically, he contributes to a goal every 89 minutes.
Hansi Flick appreciates the offensive contribution of the Englishman, and Rashford also accepts the fact that he is not a rightful holder, aware of the high competition in the offensive department.
At Manchester United, the striker has a salary of £325,000 a week. Even if he accepted a cut while on loan at Barcelona, he would once again become the highest-paid player at Old Trafford in the context of Casemiro's departure.
This situation does not suit the cost-cutting strategy imposed by Jim Ratcliffe, so United officials want a quick break-up. If the two clubs do not reach an agreement, Rashford could consider other options. Tottenham Hotspur are among the teams interested.
The forward wants his situation clarified before the World Cup, but at this point a quick resolution seems unlikely.
